Seeing Feng Quji staggering away, Wang Wan, Li Si and the officials in the cabinet were all speechless.
The Second Assistant to the Cabinet and the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel were sent home directly by His Majesty without any courtesy due to officials resigning.
Even when he is still in the position of deputy minister of the cabinet, the candidate to take over is already going to Beijing, which is almost like an insult.
"If the cabinet cannot come up with the official promotion assessment system that His Majesty wants, Feng Cifu's today will be your and my tomorrow!"
There was a coldness in Li Si's voice. He had managed to climb from a poor scholar to the second assistant of the Great Qin Cabinet. In the future, he would also be the first assistant of the Great Qin Cabinet. He would never risk his future for the benefit of a group of old officials.
"I know, I know!" Wang Wan said with a bitter look on his face. The second minister in the cabinet was directly kicked out. How long can he, the chief minister in the cabinet, stay in the job?
Originally, he thought that His Majesty would make a slow transition and change bit by bit for the sake of the stability of the court. After all, officials in the court were involved in all aspects of the Qin Dynasty. However, he did not expect that His Majesty would still use the most direct method in handling military affairs as he did that day.
One size fits all.
But his foundation is Qin officials. If these Qin officials are abandoned, the chief minister of the cabinet will be a castle in the air.
"The foundation for you and me is His Majesty's trust. Without His Majesty's trust, we are just idle countrymen!"
He looked at Wang Wan with disdain, his expression already filled with fear. If two of the three cabinet members were directly replaced by His Majesty, I am afraid that the only one left behind would not have the slightest chance to become the chief minister of the cabinet, or even extremely
It is possible that His Majesty will treat you equally.
All officials in the court jointly resisted. In any previous era, it was the best way for officials and emperors to get along. Even in the past, let alone all officials, as long as half or even one-third insisted, the emperor would give in. After all, warriors cannot replace civil servants.
Manage the people and maintain the order of the world.
Even if the emperor wants to choose again, he can only choose from these people. If an inexperienced person comes to power, it will only bring the entire country into ruins.
But now His Majesty not only controls absolute force, he can also bring experienced officials from all over the world. Supervisory censor Fan Zeng dared to send thousands of derelict officials to the Ministry of Punishment at one time. This number is even equivalent to
The total number of officials in the former Qin Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Li Si couldn't help but secretly lament that he had miscalculated. Being deceived by the officials below, he actually forgot that His Majesty can travel to different worlds. As long as he is willing, he can replace all the officials in the court at any time.
Even for the sake of his own future, Wang Wan must persist in his position as the chief minister of the cabinet.
"Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, the general of the Imperial Army, came from a world called the Ming Dynasty. They also came with tens of thousands of scholars from the Ming Dynasty. These people are now distributed throughout the Qin Dynasty!"
"Lu Huiqing, Zhang Dun, and Zeng Bu all came from the Song Dynasty, and there were also tens of thousands of officials who came with them. They are also distributed throughout the Qin Dynasty. Lu Huiqing and Zhang Dun are still in the process of resettling the people.
Continuously put officials from the Song Dynasty to deputy positions at the county and township levels for training!"
"And Zeng Bu manages all the territories of our Great Qin in the Great Song Dynasty, and he also has a large number of officials under his command!"
Speaking of this, Li Si lowered his voice and said: "What's more important is that all of these people have been prime ministers and can replace you and me at any time!"
"If you and I go against His Majesty in order to protect the interests of other officials, within a few days, just like Feng Cifu, we will be driven out of the court by Your Majesty and then replaced by these people!"
"Because you and I have offended His Majesty, not only you and me, but also your and my family will be suppressed by these people in the future, and there will be no recovery!"
Li Si's voice gradually became colder, and he asked in a low voice: "Now that the number of officials in our Qin has reached one hundred thousand, and the officials in Qin are only a few thousand, is the chief minister willing to help these thousands of people with the future of the entire family?"
Wang Wan raised his head and looked at the cabinet officials, most of whom were officials from Qin. They all looked at him with sorrow and anger, but the other officials who came from other worlds and were left in the cabinet by him had the same expressions as before, as if Just like an outsider.
Wang Wan's heart suddenly became cold. Even the officials he personally promoted and put into the cabinet had this attitude. It is conceivable that if he persisted, he, the chief minister of the cabinet, would be the next one to be sent away. .
"You guys, bring over the official promotion system that you sent me a few days ago and let me take a look. I still need to brainstorm ideas!" Wang Wan pointed to the officials who had sent him suggestions a few days ago, with a look on his face. A very gentle smile.
"Wang Chief Assistant, how can you be so inconsistent!" Several Qin officials didn't care about the identity of Wang Wan's cabinet chief minister and directly shouted angrily.
Changing the official promotion system will also change the official selection system. For many families in Qin, this is completely a root cause. If such a system is implemented, even if the younger generations of the family become beggars in the future, they will not It will be strange.
"His Majesty is the Emperor of our Great Qin. He is supreme in our Great Qin. The cabinet assists His Majesty in handling government affairs. Naturally, His Majesty's will must come first in everything!"
Wang Wan's tone was somewhat matter-of-fact, and she looked at several Qin officials with angry faces and said softly: "You are all colleagues in the court, how can you be so ignorant of the importance!"
"Okay, okay, I have waited for His Majesty the First Assistant to unify the world, and now I have become old and decrepit. In this case, I would like to resign to the First Assistant, and also ask the First Assistant to show your respect!" An official in his fifties or so came up with an angry look on his face. He raised his hand and said proudly.
"We also resign, and we ask for your approval, the Chief Assistant!" More than a dozen officials with sad and angry faces stepped forward and said proudly at the same time.
"Okay, you can do what you want!" Li Si took a step forward and said coldly.
In the mansion of the 20th Prince, looking at the figure with sparse hair on the forehead and kneeling on the ground, Zhao Wen asked with confusion: "The cabinet members are considered talents, why have they been unable to formulate an official promotion system? , do you know the reason?"
"Your Majesty, it's not that the cabinet can't work it out, it's that all the old officials in the court don't want to change the current official selection and promotion system in Da Qin. With the resistance of these people, the three cabinet ministers dare not make major changes!"
This official was an official from the late Qing Dynasty brought by Zhao Wen from the world of Uncle Jiu. He was very clear about various relationships in the officialdom. In addition, he was in the cabinet, so he could clearly explain the relationships to Zhao Wen in a few words.
"Qin's civil service system, hahaha!" Zhao Wen couldn't help but laugh.
The real strength of Da Qin is the military commander system and the system, which he has completely torn apart, but he never expected that the civil service system, which he had never looked down upon, would be so bold!
