Chapter 78 Qianlong ascends to heaven, the gods retreat
A discussion about the establishment of the Thirteenth Division soon came to an end.
It mainly involves the appointment of officials in charge of the Thirteenth Department.
As long as Yingcheng no longer fights, Li Si and Feng Quji will advance very quickly.
And again.
The First Emperor picked up an edict again and dealt with the second matter.
After Zhao Gao received the edict, he had ten thousand resentments in his heart, but he still smiled and cautiously stepped back to the high platform.
The fifth-class and nine-class system!
Once implemented, he, Zhao Gao, will be a slave, a domestic slave of the First Emperor's family who is in the palace and appointed as the official order of CRRC!
No matter how brilliant he is, he is still a slave!
But, what should he do?
Rising violently and resisting?
Zhao Gao worked hard to adjust his mentality and said in a loud voice:
"Your Majesty declares an edict: Xia inherits the rites of Tian, Zhou inherits the rites of Shang, and Qin inherits the rites of Zhou. There are many slave families in China, which is a disaster for barbarians. The nobles live permanently, and the officials guard them. The emperor lives in the center, and the whole world is subject to submission... Now!
Divide the people of the world into five classes and nine classes!
That is, there are five categories: emperor, officials, people, slaves, and barbarians, which are divided into nine streams."
"The emperor is not an equal, his words and deeds can follow the way of heaven, and he can tell the world's affairs, so he is the master of the world!"
"Emperors and empresses are not equals. They are the masters of the harem and are not separated from those in front of them. She is the mother of the world!"
"The emperor's relatives are at the first level!"
"Down there!
A first-class palace concubine enjoys honor and honor, no matter who is ahead of her.
The first-class and second-class prince enjoys the right to inherit the throne of the emperor, respects the three princes and one government, participates in government affairs, supervises the country, and implements administrative orders.
A first-rate or third-rate prince enjoys the power of a prince and enjoys honors. Those who are not officials have no political orders or the right to be transferred. If there is any trouble, they should be punished.
…
The second level is equal to the first level, respecting the details of reciprocity.
The second-class, first-class, three-gong and one-manfu orders, namely, the left and right prime ministers, the royal censors, the country-protecting captains, and the great law orders.
Prime Minister Zuo, enforces the laws of the world, encourages internal and external affairs, assists in political affairs, and makes appointments.
The Prime Minister on the right, announces the world, makes government orders clear, assists in political affairs, and makes appointments.
The imperial censor monitors the world and checks documents.
The Protector of the Country, the Captain, strategizes the world, uses military affairs to serve as the military auxiliary for the central government.
The Great Laws and Orders legislate the world, change laws, establish etiquette, implement them, and conduct widespread discussions and debates.
…
The third grade!
…
The fourth grade!
…
The fifth grade!
…
These five grades are the fifth grade and the ninth grade, with detailed rules "Qin Li Chapter", "Qin Law Chapter" and "Respect and Humiliation Chapter". It is expected that everyone respects etiquette, holds power, arrogates power, usurps power, seeks power, and misuses power.
All have the help of Dharma and rituals.
I hope that all the princes in the same position will help each other, and those in different positions will help each other. Thousands of streams will protect the country and never stop!"
After Zhao Gao finished his long reading, he finally accepted this helpless move in his heart.
In the court hall, some people were surprised and some were worried.
The prince and Jiu Qing share the same throne, which surprised many people.
The officials in each government are two positions lower, which makes many people very depressed.
especially.
There are extremely clear regulations on the duties and responsibilities of officials, with the power to transmit and assist, but not the right to execute, which greatly limits the power of officials.
But this.
It's not a discussion, it's a notification.
"Fifth and ninth rate!"
Everyone turned their eyes towards Ying Cheng, who was standing maverick next to him.
It can be said to be an incomprehensible complexity.
This law... was finally established by Ying Cheng.
Now that the court has announced it and the world has implemented it, this is the best proof!
too fast!
Many courtiers seem to have dreams.
It’s only been four days!
From the announcement of the appointment to the Dalu Palace to the preparation, such a strict outline of the hierarchical system was established.
It cannot be called a miracle, it can be called a miracle!
"Perhaps, this is not a day's work, but he has planned it for a long time!"
Some courtiers murmured in low voices and couldn't help but marvel.
There is only one possibility to finalize the fifth-level and ninth-level skills so quickly.
The first version of the fifth-level and ninth-rate books has already been published, and it only required discussions between the various government agencies before it could be formed at such a fast speed.
"But he is only ten years old. Even at the end of the year, he is only eleven years old. In the past ten years, even if he has been studying day and night, it is impossible for him to be so talented!"
"What's more, you can also summarize the twenty rites."
"What kind of miracles have you experienced in these ten years?"
There are not many people who have such thoughts, but in the end, all that is left is a deep sigh.
The momentum for Yingcheng has been achieved.
Whether it is the establishment of the Thirteen Divisions, the system of five ranks and nine ranks, or the legislation on etiquette, or the preferential treatment system for military merits and honors that has never been adopted.
thereafter.
No one can resist Ying Cheng's edge anymore.
"The hidden dragon ascends to the sky, and everyone retreats!"
It seems that some people are lightly awakened and have a sense of trance. They are hidden dragons and sages!
No one discusses whether the fifth and ninth ranks are really suitable for Da Qin.
No one raised any objections.
Why, this is the emperor’s will!
The merits and demerits are all in one purpose!
On the contrary, no one is not excited and no one is not inspired.
After the three ministers and nine ministers, the system of five ranks and nine ranks will completely establish an extremely stable world power structure.
This structure will be permanent and will not be challenged by anything external.
And this is what they envision!
"Father, you must not do this. Dividing people into five and nine classes and dividing them into different classes will ruin the future of our Great Qin Dynasty!"
Just when the court officials were quietly digesting the content of the edict, suddenly, an earth-shaking voice of admonishment rang out.
Fusu rushed out from the crowd, knelt in the middle, wailed, and raised extremely severe objections.
"People in the world already have class differences, but in the past they were invisible and unsubstantial, and they were quietly endured."
"Nowadays, when the classification is detailed, those who are in the lower class are resentful!"
"This is a system that is harmful to the country, Father!"
Fusu really couldn't bear it this time, really couldn't bear it anymore.
Really didn't expect that.
Ying Cheng tinkered for a few days and finally figured out how to clarify the differences between levels.
Even though he, as a prince, enjoys endless majesty, this concerns the people of the world, and he does not care about his personal honor and disgrace.
He just couldn't understand why such a system that was harmful to the country could still be implemented.
"I also ask my father to take back the edict. We can't differentiate between levels. You absolutely can't."
In the entire hall, the only sound left was Fusu's wailing.
Fusu suddenly appeared to stop him, and even many courtiers were shocked.
It was really too sudden.
No one responded.
When he reacted, he saw that Fusu had already whined to stop him and said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
I can only sigh in my heart.
‘My good brother-in-law, at least you can see the situation clearly. This is the edict issued by the government!
It must have been discussed by the three princes, and His Majesty agreed. He had no intention of bringing it to the court for discussion. This shows that no matter whether it is right or wrong, he is determined to implement it. Now you stand up, alas!'
Li Zhan couldn't help but shake his head, feeling even more depressed and confused.
To this day, he still doesn't understand whether Fusu has the brains to judge the situation in the court!
Really, too bad!
"This matter cannot be discussed further, please stand down!" The First Emperor frowned and waved his hand. Even if he didn't implement anything else, he must implement this.
This is a very appropriate system to be implemented at this stage and will have long-term success.
