Chapter 141 Requirements and Restrictions on the Cabinet
In the Great Qin Palace, after greeting the First Emperor, who was obviously feeling much better but whose face was getting worse, he came to the study.
Zhao Wen continued to outline the contents of the memorials summarized in each letter. The circled ones, Chu Yi, and Chu Yi were immediately sent to the eunuch standing beside him to write an imperial edict and stamp them with a jade seal. As for the crossed ones, they were thrown away casually. aside.
The faces of Wang Wan, Feng Quji and Li Si standing below were getting more and more ugly. Although they had made some guesses when they came in, now that they saw it with their own eyes, their hearts suddenly became cold.
Originally, they thought that after the cabinet system, the power of the prime minister was greatly strengthened, but now the three of them felt that just the two eunuchs beside His Majesty seemed to be able to compete with them.
Especially when they thought that these two eunuchs were in charge of an intelligence department like Dongchang that could monitor hundreds of officials, and had the privilege of killing them first and reporting later, the faces of the three of them were extremely ugly.
After sketching the content in his hand, Zhao Wen looked at the people in the palace, stood up gently and said: "Today is the first day, so I will deal with it directly. All subsequent matters that need to be stamped with jade seals will be sent to the inner study first. You can only send it over after issuing a note!"
"Your Majesty!" Wang Wan suddenly became anxious. Everything must be sent to the eunuch in the inner study before being reported to His Majesty. In this way, what is the difference between the rights of himself, the chief minister of the cabinet, and those of these eunuchs?
"The same thing has been blocked three times by the inner study. The cabinet and the inner study can come to me to argue clearly. If it is the responsibility of the cabinet, the chief minister of the cabinet will be demoted to a commoner. If it is the responsibility of the inner study, the chief eunuch of the inner study will be demoted to the farm servant eunuch. !”
After scanning the three cabinet ministers and Chu One and Chu Two, Zhao Wen's voice was cold: "If one party makes too serious a mistake, just behead it in public to serve as a warning to those who come after you!"
Zhao Wen will never overestimate the selfishness of bureaucrats. In addition to being loyal to themselves, Chu Yi and Chu Er are also living people who will also have problems. But as long as this is there, even if there is a fight between the two sides, it is equivalent to having a fight. Bottom line.
Zhao Wen absolutely believed that Wang Wan definitely did not want to cancel the inner study. Without the inner study, he would directly confront himself. This would be more dangerous for him and would have less power. The first prime minister of the founding state of Qin Not so shallow.
His purpose is just to add a constraint to the inner study, and his conditions can also restrict both parties from each other.
"The cabinet must set an age for local officials to enter office, especially at the grassroots level. Officials must not be too old to move and still hold on to their positions!"
In this era, officials have always been tenured for life, and this is what Zhao Wen needs to change now.
"No!" The three cabinet members saluted and agreed at the same time. Although this matter offended people, the three people's positions really did not care about offending some small officials, and letting officials die in their positions would indeed delay the court's affairs.
But the expressions of the three people immediately changed. It is easy to determine the age, but now Daqin really does not have so many officials to replace them.
"There is a group of officials in the Shaofu. You can place them in the counties, and the imperial court can issue an edict and recruit a group of officials through examinations!"
The officials of the Shaofu were brought back by Zhao Wen from the late Qing Dynasty. These people were not only officials, but also joined the Jinyi Guards. Some of them Zhao Wen had already sent to the cabinet and the six ministries. After the rest were put down, they were to be
It won't take long for Jin Yiwei to fully understand the problems in various parts of Daqin.
As for recruiting people through exams, Zhao Wen didn't believe that he could recruit all the small nobles from poor families in Da Qin in just one exam in Jiujiang. There must be many people who didn't participate because of distrust or other reasons. Now that they have the imperial court's endorsement, they will definitely be able to recruit people.
We can recruit a group of people.
"I will set the number of years for the cabinet in the future, but how to set this number depends on the ability of your first cabinet. If you do a good job, I will never be stingy in conferring titles or titles. Your ability is too poor. For the sake of the Great Qin Cabinet
To save face, I have no choice but to shorten the years limit for serving in the cabinet, and I think you can understand!"
In addition to restrictions, there must also be incentives. Confucian and Legalist officials became ruthless, but they did not even let themselves go. And these three people were either Confucian or Legalist.
Not only does it involve his own title, but it will also affect the tenure of future cabinet officials. Zhao Wen absolutely believes that this alone is enough for the three of them to go all out, and there are too many things to change in the first cabinet of Great Qin.
, you must become stronger.
Seeing that the three cabinet ministers were instantly refreshed and their eyes suddenly brightened, Zhao Wen waved his hand and said: "Go down!"
Seeing the people slowly retreating, Zhao Wen turned his head and looked behind the screen. He could clearly feel that someone was behind him. Apparently, the First Emperor came to eavesdrop on him handling government affairs again.
Thinking about it, Daqin is full of problems now. There are countless things that need to be solved urgently, but everything is lacking.
As soon as he thought that even the officials could not gather enough numbers and actually had to use a large number of rich rural households at the county level, Zhao Wen even had the urge to immediately connect Shimen to a whole world and then attract a large number of scholars.
After all, both the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty were able to perfectly solve their current problems, even the problem of lack of labor.
But these two are out-and-out martial arts worlds. The influx of a large number of martial arts people will inevitably cause many new problems, and these problems are currently beyond the power of Da Qin.
Zhao Wen now even feels that he is not as comfortable as the emperor as he was when he was in Jiujiang.
Turning to look behind the screen, Zhao Wen even had the urge to pull out the First Emperor again and let him serve as the chief minister of the cabinet. After all, whether it was execution ability or foresight, the First Emperor was definitely far above the three people in his cabinet.
.
But then, he suppressed this impulse again!
"It's a bit too childish!" Zhao Wen shook his head gently and sighed.
Taking one step forward, he left the emperor and appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Many craftsmen and people in Longshou Plain below are clearing and leveling the ground, but at this speed, it can be said that it is far away to build the palace in the illustration.
Zhao Wen raised his hand gently, and a huge handprint appeared in mid-air, rising in the wind. In just a moment, the palm of several hundred meters in size was already slapping down heavily.
The aura throughout his body continued to expand to the surroundings, and with He's Bi suppressing it, Zhao Wen could exert his full strength unscrupulously without worrying about shattering the surrounding space.
Taking one palm after another, the palms become bigger and bigger. One point of mana can activate ten or even one hundred percent of the energy of heaven and earth. But now, Zhao Wen seems to have become the core of the entire world, and he can do it with just a thought. Mobilize the infinite power of heaven and earth for your own use.
