Chapter 97 The political structure of Da Qin

Zhao Si left, but the First Emperor could not settle down, and looked at the golden elixir in his hand in silence for a long time.

"Find some birds and beasts and feed them separately!" The First Emperor threw the porcelain vase into Zhao Gao's hand.

Zhao Gao was a little confused, but he still responded to Wei and bowed down.

After Zhao Gao left, the First Emperor went to bed alone under the care of the palace servants. The First Emperor had not been able to have sex for a long time. It was not impossible, but his energy was not enough.

His body was already overdrawn, and forcing him to have sex would only make him even more exhausted the next day. Unless it was a rare free day, the First Emperor rarely favored the harem. Therefore, although Hu Hai was over 20 years old, he was still the youngest heir of the First Emperor.

Lying sideways on the bed, sleepiness came over him. Because of the enjoyable experience of sleeping at noon, the First Emperor closed his eyes and fell asleep.

However, falling asleep this time was not as easy as falling asleep at noon. It took about a quarter of an hour of tossing and turning before the First Emperor fell asleep.

The First Emperor's body was too overdrawn and his foundation had been seriously damaged. Unless Zhao Si was always with him and the First Emperor stopped taking the elixirs, it would probably take some time if he wanted to be like a normal person.

The next day, Zhao Si got up weakly again, touched the scent of the bed and sighed again: "Wang Li missed me!"

Obviously, Zhao Si's will is not very firm. The maids sent by the Wang family were all personally rewarded by the First Emperor. They were carefully selected and their professional skills were extremely superb. There were more people and fewer people, even though Zhao Si's body was far from human.

, it is difficult to sustain even after a long battle.

"Starting today, quit sex!" Zhao Si patted his thigh and got up from the bed.

"Master, please wash up!"

"Come on~~" Zhao Si could enjoy the corrupt life of feudal society with peace of mind.

Wash and eat.

Zhao Si straightened her clothes, went out at home, and went straight to the doctor's office. Without prompting, she said hello to Meng Yi and went straight to change clothes.

"There is no need to lock the palace gate today." Meng Yi waved his hand.

"But you still have to be on duty in the palace." Meng Yi smiled and patted Zhao Si on the shoulder.

In addition to holding halberds and guarding, Lang Guan also discussed in front of the king the value of the court officials and attendants. This was divided into two types.

One is to directly transfer a large number of Lang officials from Lang Zhongling to enter the palace together on a certain day to serve as attendants and discuss government affairs.

On this day, they would accompany the First Emperor, have meals together, follow the First Emperor forward and backward, and accompany the First Emperor in dealing with government affairs. The First Emperor would choose the opportunity to ask about the government affairs, and the officials would discuss the affairs of the government and answer questions in turn.

This kind of big scene generally only happens once a year, and it is considered a method used by the First Emperor to assess.

The Lang Guan of Lang Zhong Ling can be regarded as a reserve of officials across the country, ranging from the local government to the court. The First Emperor will conduct assessments by discussing government affairs, and then choose to transfer them to local governments based on their answers and performance, or continue to train them in Lang Zhong Ling, or

Or take it with you.

The other method is for Meng Yi to recommend three ministers, who enter the palace to discuss government affairs and serve as attendants.

Three times a month, at the beginning, middle and end of the month, three people at a time. If they are lucky enough to be remembered by the Emperor's name on such occasions, or perform well, they are likely to be trained by the Emperor.

There were hundreds of princes and princes, and the competition for discussing the value of government affairs was very fierce. Compared with the confinement of the palace, the First Emperor might not necessarily pass by and take a look once a day. This was a rare opportunity to be almost alone with the First Emperor for a whole day.

If you are lucky enough to be asked by the First Emperor and write down your name, your future will basically be bright.

That is to say, now that Meng Yi is close to the First Emperor, the Lang Zhongling has greater real power, and the officials under the Lang Zhongling have things to do instead of waiting here dryly. Otherwise, just for this opportunity to show his face in front of the First Emperor, hundreds of Langs would be spent.

I'm afraid the official's stupid brain will be fought over.

Of course, Zhao Si was named by the First Emperor alone, which was a special situation and cannot be treated with common sense.

What other Lang Guan wanted was to show his face in front of the First Emperor, so that the First Emperor could remember him as a person and remember his appearance and name. Zhao Si was different. He overtook at a curve. Before entering the Lang Zhongling, Zhao Si had already been beaten by the First Emperor.

Write it down.

After Meng Yide explained, Zhao Si understood the specific situation and knew that he could not treat it with common sense, so he nodded and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Meng Yi again.

"If you want to discuss government affairs, don't be restrained, just speak boldly." Meng Yi looked at Zhao Si and told him.

In the past two days, Zhao Si had already decided to stay alone outside the door one day and to serve alone the other day. To put it bluntly, Zhao Si had made great contributions. In addition to the title, gold and silver rewards, this was also a kind of reward.

It's hard to say whether the First Emperor will name names individually again later.

If Zhao Si performed well, maybe the First Emperor would ask Zhao Si to accompany the king every now and then.

The power of Lang Zhongling depends on whether the First Emperor trusts and is close to him.

As long as Zhao Si doesn't deliberately flatter and flatter others, he can win the favor of the First Emperor through his outstanding performance and accompany him around, which is also a good thing for Lang Zhongling.

In fact, the reason why Lang Zhongling has extraordinary power now is mostly because Meng Yi was close to the First Emperor.

For example, Taiwei and You Prime Minister, one of the three princes, seem to have a transcendent status, but in fact they don't have much power anymore. Now they are almost like mascots. The First Emperor simply holds all the military power in his hands, and the power of the Prime Minister is also concentrated in Li Si's hands.

.

The same is true for the imperial censor, one of the three princes. The current censor is Feng Quji. He seems to have a transcendent status, but in fact he has no real power and can only assist the left prime minister Li Si in handling government affairs.

At present, the power of the three princes lies entirely in the hands of the First Emperor and Li Si.

In comparison, Jiuqing is a department with real power. There are many subordinate officials, and their power is scattered and small. Basically every senior minister holds real power.

In the position of the Three Dukes, if the superior cannot get close to the king, and the subordinates cannot control the nine ministers, and there are not many direct subordinate officials, it can be said that the three Dukes and below are subordinates, but in fact they have no rights at all.

Meng Yi even gave Zhao Si some obscure knowledge about the current situation in the court.

"Well, the three princes and princes are all mascots..." Zhao Si thought to himself as he walked towards the palace.

"Theoretically speaking, Li Si was promoted by the First Emperor, and all power comes from above. In other words, now the First Emperor controls all military power and political power. He has also eliminated his relatives... No wonder..."

The Three Dukes during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and even the Qin and Han Dynasties were not mascots. The power of the prime minister was so great that it could even interfere with the imperial power. The centralized power system was not like that of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. Judging from the political structure of the Qin Dynasty today, the First Emperor is definitely the most powerful person in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods so far.

The emperor with the most power.

"It's no wonder that the First Emperor has to deal with so many memorials every day... The three princes have almost all their rights deprived, including Li Si, who is also a tool to a certain extent. He has direct jurisdiction over Jiuqing and all the counties and counties in the world. He has seen everything in detail.

.”

In this era, the three princes and the imperial power are basically in a relationship of checks and balances. If the imperial power is greater, the three princes have less power, and if the three princes are greater, the imperial power has less power. It is not uncommon for the three princes to evade the imperial power, but it is really rare for the imperial power to evade the three princes.

It is no wonder that the three princes of the Qin Dynasty are not well-known except for Zuo Prime Minister Li Si. Even Li Si is only Zuo Prime Minister. You must know that the Qin Dynasty respects the right.

In a sense, the First Emperor's troubles were self-inflicted.

Zhao Si thought as he walked towards the palace. When he entered the palace, the First Emperor had already straightened his figure and was processing the memorial.

It can be seen from the memorials stacked on the desk that the First Emperor had been working for a certain period of time.

Zhao Si keenly discovered that the porcelain bottle containing the elixir had disappeared on the desk of the First Emperor.

"look."

The First Emperor placed a pile of memorials in front of Zhao Si.

Zhao Si heard the sound and held up the memorial.

Reading them one by one, they all focus on maritime affairs.

Some people suggested continuing to expand overseas in search of auspiciousness, some suggested exploring the Great Kyushu, some suggested conquering Xu Fu, and some suggested trying to form a maritime fleet and start Great Qin's maritime expedition.

"They've seen the map." The First Emperor pointed to the hanging world map.

The main reason is that the news Zhao Si brought back from this trip was too shocking. At present, the northern and southern regions of Qin are in a stalemate. Under the detonation of three new grains, the Yin-Yang family's Great Kyushu Peace Theory advocates the expansion of enterprising factions.

A subtle chain reaction occurred.

The Yin Yang family's theory of Dajiuzhou has been verified to a certain extent, and Da Qin indeed has the ability to build sea ships. A group of people who suffered from no military success have set their fanatical eyes overseas, and the Yin Yang family is also eager to confirm

Dajiuzhou said that this led to so many memorials against maritime affairs.

"What should we do about maritime affairs?" the First Emperor asked.

Now that the Yin and Yang family has arrived, the key reason for not going out to sea is that there are too few ships.

All Da Qin's sea-going ships were sent to sea by Xu Fu, and Zhao Si brought back seventeen ships. They scrapped the small ships and built larger ones, and they managed to make up twenty ships. However, twenty sea-going ships were still too few.

A lunatic seeking military glory will definitely want to make a big move.

Speaking more closely, should Xu Fu fight? This guy is disobeying the king's order. We must have enough ships to fight him.

To put it further, twenty sea ships are definitely not enough to occupy the land.

Zhao Si shook his head without any hesitation.

"Your Majesty, you must not engage in maritime affairs." Zhao Si said seriously.

This time going out to sea, Zhao Si deeply realized how desolate the world is now. Da Qin's opening up the sea must be a loss-making business. Even if he goes out to sea, it will be an enclave, and even trade has no basis for trade.

There is another very important reason, Da Qin's ships cannot do it.

Da Qin's ships are fine for small-scale voyages. After all, they are just collecting information and crops.

If you use today's shipbuilding ideas to engage in large-scale sailing and cross-sea battles, big problems are likely to occur...

"What should we do?" the First Emperor asked.

"While based on China, we will explore overseas on a small scale to obtain new overseas species, news, and national power. We will improve our ships while building understanding."

The Qin Dynasty's sea-going ships were barely adequate, and were the result of the First Emperor's forcible force.

Want to do maritime work? You can't do it now. Maritime work is not about going to sea to seek immortality.

There won’t be too much introduction later, I’ll mainly talk about what the protagonist’s position is.
