The six countries sent me as a spy, and the contact person was Qin Shihuang

Chapter 249 Ying Zheng: Oh, I was scolded by my master again!
After the disbandment of the dynasty, not all ministers returned to work. A large number of senior officials quickly concentrated in the central government office with the prime minister as the center.

No one is stupid!

All the ministers saw it. When he went to court, the piece of paper in Ying Zheng's hand was full of words. With Jiang Bai's consistent style, the latter part is probably the most important. If the emperor does not implement it for the time being, it does not mean that it will be done next. Not executed.

"Look, if that guy doesn't play tricks on us, I dare to eat half of Xianyang City." Li Si said while wiping away tears.

Feng Quji said: "The problem is that the emperor used to discuss everything with us, but now he no longer informs us. This is the most troublesome."

Yes, yes, this is also Li Si's biggest headache.

Jiang Bai's ability to handle government affairs these days has made him feel enough fear.

If the emperor didn't tell him about his future plans, it meant that the emperor was probably already considering completely replacing the prime minister, which Li Si couldn't accept and didn't dare to accept.

Someone suggested asking Miss Li to help inquire.

"The more I inquire, the more scared I become. Forget it, I'll just pretend it never happened and just go and run errands for the emperor." Feng Quji and Feng Jie immediately stepped out of the way. There was no expert between them and the emperor to help smooth things over.

Let Li Si go find out.

"He is Prime Minister Zuo. After finding out the emperor's intentions, how could he not inform us? He cannot do without our support." Feng Quji thought this way.

Li Si thought twice and did not ask his wife to find her daughter to inquire about the news.

At this time, not only was the emperor very wary of foreign ministers like them, Jiang Bai might have been dissatisfied with them for a long time.

If he went to inquire about the information and was discovered, would Li Si have a chance to regain recognition?
"Besides, at least I know some secrets. Although the emperor has opinions about me temporarily, it is not enough to make me completely lose trust." Li Si thought to himself.

So, on the day Taipu Temple was established, Li Si quietly asked Zhao Gao what he thought of the current situation.

Zhao Gao said, "I am just a chamberlain. How can these important national affairs attract too much attention from a person like me?"

Li Si was disdainful. He was sure that Zhao Gao knew too many secrets.

Of course Zhao Gao knew that Jiang Bai had made it clear that some of Jiuqing's government offices should change their names. The establishment of Taipu Temple and the dispersion of authority were aimed at letting the Shangshutai disperse most of Jiuqing's responsibilities.

For example, the establishment of the six ministerial offices and the establishment of subordinate government agencies took away most of the governance power from the hands of the three gongs and nine ministers.

In this way, in the future, the Sangong and Jiuqing will still be the pinnacle of Da Qin officials, especially the Sangong.

However, the Three Dukes will inevitably continue to be split up, and after the power held by Jiuqing is eliminated, these positions will only be empty shells with higher levels, while the actual power is held by the Six Ministries.

The question is whether this will be opposed by the Nine Qings, and if they strongly oppose it based on the power they hold, it may fundamentally distract the emperor's design of the six departments.

On the day Taipu Temple was established, that is, after the government offices were staffed in place, all government offices and localities at all levels in the world would establish a clear understanding of the authority of Taipus Temple. Therefore, the three officials and nine ministers would come to congratulate and announce it to the world. On that day, Ying Zheng thought clearly about Jiang Bai's deep-seated intentions for the design of Shangshutai and Liubu.

"The Shangshutai is now of low rank and has little power, and is completely controlled by the Prime Minister. Its functional planning also greatly conflicts with Jiuqing's position, but isn't the purpose of the Shangshutai to assist Jiuqing in handling specific national affairs." Ying Zheng laughed secretly.

In this way, Shangshutai can gradually differentiate the functions of Jiuqing, and finally form a role that completely replaces Jiuqing.

However, even in the future, the relatively old official structure of Jiuqing can in turn check and balance the Six Ministries, so as to prevent the Six Ministries from becoming too powerful and forming new threats.

But the secret note Jiang Bai gave him also mentioned a power center that would definitely be established in the future.

In other words, a new design to divide the powers of the prime minister.Jiang Bai first took out the three provinces and six ministries system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

"The three provinces of Menxia, ​​Zhongshu, and Shangshu command the six ministries. The six ministries specifically implement the things decided by the dynasty, and there are three prime ministers. This is in line with the current situation of the Qin Dynasty." Ying Zheng pondered Jiang Bai's suggestions and spread the news in the palace. Bu thought.

He originally understood this system as having at least three prime ministers in each of the three provinces.

So, looking back, he was criticized by Jiang Bai again.

Ying Zheng felt that he understood, so he asked Fusu to go to Jiang Bai and ask what officials should be assigned to do the power gaps beyond the powers of the prime minister in the three provinces.

Jiang Bai was designing a cart that would be more energy-saving for animals. Hearing this, he was stunned and said, "Did the Yellow Emperor think that the three provinces were just for the three prime ministers to take charge of each one?"

Fusu asked strangely: "But isn't this a perfect correspondence?"

"As you said, a man should also have a woman. Do you want to marry only one wife?" Jiang Bai said, "The emperor's understanding ability shouldn't be so poor. How could he design the power structure of the three provinces and six ministries? Three prime ministers and six ministers?"

Fusu immediately took out his pen and ink and prepared to record it.

"The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister. He is the only one who will always lead the government. He is the emperor's most trusted power assistant forever!" Jiang Bai hinted.

Fusu smiled and understood what he meant.

What is the eternal general government?

In fact, in name, everything has to be managed.

Controlling everything means there is no specific power to refer to.

The latter sentence is more obvious.

If the emperor wants to trust a prime minister, what should this prime minister look like?
Being able to do things is not a big ambition for power.

Such a prime minister is of course the commander of the three provinces and six ministries.

But if he is not such a person, he can only be a prime minister who controls everything but can control nothing!

"The actual master of the three provinces can be a powerful and prestigious minister among the six ministries, or he can be a pillar of the country who is not named in the six ministries. He can be called the minister of the three provinces, Pu She, or he can be directly called the deputy prime minister." Jiang Bai said, " One deputy prime minister controls the daily operations of a province, and then one or two deputy prime ministers are responsible for connecting with the six ministries and presiding over the specific responsibilities of the three provinces."

This time Fusu understood, and Ying Zheng also fully understood.

There are a few more people, each in charge of their own business, and constraining each other. However, the emperor can control the three provinces through the court meetings and directly direct the specific work of the six ministries.

In this way, the prime minister lost the opportunity to directly control the outer court.

After the Six Ministries digested the power in the hands of Jiu Qing, they used Jiu Qing to blackmail the Six Ministries and use some overlapping functions to make them fight against each other.

This is the art of kings.

Moreover, it is an imperial art realized through institutionalized operation.

Wouldn't this be more useful than just thinking about fighting directly with the three gongs and nine ministers?
But just when Ying Zheng was so happy that he thought he had mastered the art of the emperor, he was scolded by Jiang Bai again.
