Daily Life In Qin Dynasty

  Chapter 248 Prime Minister and Royal Doctor

  "During the period of the widow's personal conquest, the eldest son of the widow, Fusu, has full power to supervise the country. You should be loyal to the code and assist the eldest son, Fusu, to stabilize the government."

   Just after Ying Zheng finished speaking, all the ministers below raised their heads with surprise on their faces.

   This time, the reactions of the ministers were not entirely acting, and at least 30% of them were their true emotions.

Although rumors of Fusu supervising the country had spread in the court before, there was no direct evidence to prove this, and in the guesses of the officials themselves, Fusu was young after all, and it may be possible for him to supervise the country now. Sex is not great.

did not expect.

   Now that the King of Qin actually delegated power to his eldest son, Fusu, who was only thirteen years old, the meaning behind this is very memorable.

  For a while, the expressions of the officials in the DPRK and China were different, but they did not show too shocked emotions.

   It is indeed a surprise that Ying Zheng chose to let Fusu supervise the country, but it is only a surprise. In this grand meeting, what really deserves their attention is not the people who supervise the country, but the people who assist the people who supervise the country.

   This is what they care most about in the next process.

"Other·····"

While the ministers were thinking, I saw Yingzheng looking around with majestic eyes, and then gradually stopped on the body of Changping Lord Xiong Qi, and said in a deep voice: "Feng Chang Xiong Qi has devoted himself to following the rules for many years, worked hard, and the widow is proud of you." In the name of the King of Qin, an imperial edict will be proclaimed, and Feng Chang Xiong Qi will be promoted to the Right Prime Minister of Qin from now on."

   "During the period of the widow's royal conquest, Xiong Qing should serve as the head of the hundred officials, and wholeheartedly assist the widow's eldest son, Fusu, to handle the government affairs and stabilize the country."

When the imperial edict of Yingzheng was officially issued, even the city of Lord Changping couldn't help showing a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face. .”

   Zhao Gao, the servant next to Yingzheng, stepped down from the stage, and handed over to Mr. Changping the official palace, official seals and other items representing "Qin Guoyou Prime Minister".

this moment.

  The courtiers representing the forces of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" in the court hall showed excitement and joy in their eyes.

  The eyes of the rest of the officials flickered. They first looked at Lord Changping in front of them a few times, and then gradually shifted their eyes to Lord Mo.

  Although they didn't know how Lord Changping took the position of 'Prime Minister of the Right' into his hands, they knew that Lord Mo lost this round.

   Many days ago.

   There have been rumors in the court that Yingzheng will confer the position of 'Prime Minister' which has been vacant for a long time, but it has never been decided who will be conferred in the end.

   And this is also one of the things that all civil and military officials are most concerned about in today's "Great Court Meeting", because it represents a change in the situation of the court.

  The prime minister is the head of all officials.

  Great Qin also respects the right, so the position of the right prime minister is the current state of Qin, there is no doubt that "one person is under one person, and ten thousand people are above".

   It can be said that this position is the lifelong pursuit of all civil servants.

  As the position of 'Prime Minister' was settled, the minds of many officials above the court had turned quickly, thinking that maybe they should lean closer to the 'Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage' next.

   And some officials who were originally from the "Chu foreign relatives lineage", after Xiong Qi won the position of "Prime Minister of the Right", they couldn't help but secretly cast a proud and provocative look at Mo Jun.

Needless to say.

  This kind of childlike behavior is naturally done by Changping Jun's younger brother, Changwen Jun.

   It’s no wonder Chang Wenjun is so naive. After all, since Mr. Mo came to power, all the people in the entire “Chu Foreign Relatives Lineage” have hardly had a good day.

  Mr. Mo's rise was too sudden. Before the incident of the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun, Mr. Changping and Mr. Changwen didn't even see Mr. Mo as a person.

   And when Mr. Mo rose to power, he gave a big gift to the "Chu foreign relatives" on the same day, and directly hammered Mr. Changping into a dizzy head with a heavy hammer.

  When Lord Changping came back to his senses again, Lord Mo had already become Lord Shengping of Qin State and governed Su Neishi.

It can be said.

   After living for so many years, the brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun have never been so aggrieved.

   Now that the two of them, through the influence of the Empress Dowager Huayang, have finally won over Mo Jun in the court, how could they not have the thought of elation in their hearts.

   But before Chang Wenjun was proud, suddenly, Ying Zheng on the throne spoke again:

   "In addition to this matter, Zhi Su Nei Shi Mojun made great contributions to the control of the snow disaster last winter, and developed [winter wheat] to further increase the heritage of the Great Qin Dynasty. It can be described as an outstanding contribution."

   "From now on, Zhi Su Nei Shi Mojun will officially take the post of 'Censor Doctor', and has the post of supervising all officials."

  “······”

   This sudden edict was issued, and the entire court fell into dead silence instantly. Chang Wenjun, who was still showing complacent and provocative eyes at Mo Jun just now, became stiff in an instant, as if he had eaten shit.

  Xiong Qi, who was at the head of the civil servants, suddenly raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng above the throne. However, Ying Zheng above was too far away and wore a crown, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.

  The only thing Xiong Qi can see is the majesty on Ying Zheng that is almost hard to see directly.

   Until this moment.

  Xiong Qicai suddenly discovered that the current Yingzheng is no longer the young king who was mixed in by him, Lu Buwei, and Lai Ai, who had no rights and could only follow the crowd.

  No one in the current Yingzheng can interfere with his decision, he can't, and the Queen Mother Huayang can't either.

   "Minister, please follow the imperial edict."

   Mo Jun stood up and said loudly.

  The matter of conferring on Mo Jun as 'Doctor Yu Shi' is obviously not in the process of preparation in advance by the Great Court Meeting. This is a decision made by Ying Zheng alone, and no one can object to it.

  And behind this seemingly simple thing, it also represents many meanings.

  First of all, we must understand.

   What is the official position of the imperial doctor?

  The official position system of the Qin State is the "three gongs and nine ministers system".

  The three princes are: Prime Minister, Taiwei, and Doctor Yushi.

  The prime minister is the head of civil servants.

  Taiwei is the head of generals.

  The position of doctor censor is the most special, neither belonging to civil servants nor military generals. The censor's duty is not to govern, but to supervise. The censor has the power to supervise all officials, even the prime minister and the Taiwei.

  The original purpose of establishing this official position was to check and balance the rights of the prime minister and the Taiwei.

  The three are at the same level in terms of official positions, and they are all the highest officials in the entire Qin State second only to the King of Qin.

  Just from the perspective of official position.

   Yingzheng chose to confer the title of Lord Changping as 'Prime Minister of the Right' at the same time as the title of 'Doctor Yushi' at the same time. It seems that it is only for a check and balance of power.

   But after digging deeper, you will find that this matter is far more than that...
