Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt

Chapter 178 Regardless of whether a cat is black or white, as long as it can catch mice, it is a goo

With Qin Mo's limited knowledge, in fact, he can't come up with any new gadgets, but standing on the shoulders of giants, he can see farther.

Guide the Chinese ancestors to abandon the detours in the historical process, find a straight path, and walk on it.

As for the straight, is it really flat?Will you stumble and stumble when you walk up?
He didn't know it, and he was terrified of it!

Therefore, he has always been adhering to Tibetan clumsiness, or in other words, he does not take it for granted. He only puts forward general outlines and strategies in everything, and entrusts the details to Yingzheng and the talented people of the Manchu Dynasty to fill in the gaps and fill in the gaps.

The so-called selection of officials and appointment of officials is actually a combination of imperial examinations and examinations.

Ying Zheng hid it for a few years after getting it in his hands, and added, modified and improved it according to his own ideas, but the general framework remained unchanged.

For example, anonymized transcriptions that ensure fairness and justice to the greatest extent!
For example, law, etiquette and mathematics are basic subjects, and the big exam is held every three years!
The rest are the revisions of Yingzheng. For example, during the three-year exam period, county exams were set up.

The county and county examinations are held once a year. If you pass the county and county examinations, you can become a grassroots official, and you will be regarded as a public official, and you will be assigned official positions according to your examination results.

Those who pass the prefectural examination can take one step closer to the central examination. Each county has a fixed number of places, and those with excellent grades will be selected by Yingzheng and courtiers.

When taking part in the central examination, if you have other talents, you can show what you have learned, such as vertical and horizontal, famous debate, farming and weaving, military art, medicine, yin and yang, water conservancy... and even hundreds of crafts, etc., can be added points.

At the same time, these bonus subjects will be held in Xianyang every three years, and special recruitment examinations will be held. Anyone who is proficient in one of them can participate, and those who are outstanding will be immediately appointed as full-time officials.

This set of methods for selecting officials and appointing officials combined with the current situation of the shortage of talented scholars in the Great Qin Dynasty, and explored available talents as much as possible.

In the next ten years, it will probably not change!
As for ten years later, when education in public schools becomes popular... Yingzheng, who is impatient, actually proposed a set of improved methods for selecting officials and appointing officials, which can be promulgated with only a few changes based on the current situation at the time. Carry out!

"What do you think of this method of selecting and appointing officials?"

Yingzheng waited for Fusu to recite the thick manuscript, and then asked loudly.

Qin Mo didn't find out the fault, and even felt ashamed for his hard work to prepare for the rainy day, so he immediately raised his hands and said, "It's very feasible!"

All the civil and military officials planned in their hearts to give their own children, nephews and grandchildren a sudden tutoring in the law, etiquette, and arithmetic, and they also said: "Very kind, I have no objection~!!!"

Ying Zheng nodded with a big hand and said, "In that case, it will be promulgated together with the reform of the central government system and the law on the evaluation of officials."

"In addition, all counties in the world are ordered to hold a county examination after receiving the law on the selection of officials and appointments. The imperial court will select those with excellent grades in each county after March to hold a central examination!"

"Here."

Qin Mo and Old Wang Wan bowed their hands to accept the order.

Well, promulgating decrees is the business of the two prime ministers, but usually Qin Mo just talks, and the real thing is still up to Lao Wang Wan...

……

The Law on Selecting Officials and Appointing Officials was finalized and promulgated, and the time for the first Central Examination was set.

Then came the more important event.

For example, when the reform of the central government system was promulgated, how would the positions of courtiers be adjusted?

Especially the aspect changed from two to five, and who will be in charge of the three extra aspects will affect the hearts of the courtiers.

Moreover, the mature version of the central government system reform strategy is very different from Qin Mo's original central government system reform strategy.

Not only has the phase increased to five, but the Taiwei who is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses has also increased to five.

Moreover, the responsibilities of the Taiwei Mansion have also been greatly reduced, and they are only responsible for fighting wars, training troops, and managing military registration.

As for logistics, military merit verification, and promotion of officers and soldiers, they were classified as the responsibilities of the Ministry of War.

Theoretically speaking, Taiwei's Mansion is higher than the Ministry of War, but in fact, the two are at the same level.

The most important right to deploy troops is firmly controlled by Ying Zheng!

In addition, there is also the Jiuqing. After cutting off the official positions of the departments serving the royal clan, it should have been integrated into six departments including the Ministry of War, but now it is nine.

For example, the Ministry of Household Affairs, according to Qin Mo's blueprint, has too much power and authority. Once Ying Zheng and the officials combined, they did not hesitate to abandon Qin Mo's blueprint.

Divide the authority of the Ministry of Accounting into three, and set it up as the Ministry of Accounting, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Agriculture.

In this way, the Ministry of Household Affairs has become a second-rate department, which only manages household registration and farm land in the world.

The collection of taxes and financial expenditures are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance.

The Ministry of Agriculture, on the other hand, is in charge of farming and mulberry affairs, and will carry out the word farming in the farming war to the end!

This unrecognizable change really added a lot of civil and military officials, some ten thousand-year-old second assistant officials, maybe they can become ministers!
Ying Zhengyin's Danfeng eyes hidden behind the twelve beads, slowly turned and scanned all the civil and military officials in the hall, and finally landed on Fusu who was at the side and lowered his head, and said: "Adjust the position of the central government, and recite it with all the ministers... ..."

"Hold on, Your Majesty!"

Before Ying Zheng could finish speaking, a man from among the civil servants and courtiers suddenly jumped out and interrupted Ying Zheng's conversation anxiously.

The civil and military officials who were full of anticipation suddenly had their hearts suspended in the air, feeling uncomfortable and awkward.

So Qiqi frowned and glared at the ignorant guy!
Ying Zheng was stunned, and together with all the civil and military officials, looked at the reckless man, and then said displeasedly: "Li Qing, I haven't asked you yet, ten days have come, why hasn't there been a new supervision law? ?”

"If you don't concentrate on thinking about the new supervision law, what are you doing?"

The one who jumped out to interrupt the rhythm of the meeting was Li Si, the good brother of Ting Wei Mansion!

……

When the civil and military officials saw Ying Zheng reprimanding Li Si like this, most of the awkwardness in their hearts disappeared immediately.

He even faintly sympathized with Li Si!

At first Li Si boasted that when he went to Haikou, there would be a good law to offer within ten days, but in the past ten days, there was no movement, and he did not participate in the daily small court meeting.

All the officials are well-informed, so how can they not know that Li Si and the officials of Tingwei's mansion, in order to come up with a new supervision law that is better than the emergency double regulation law, sit in the duty room every day and pull their hair worrying.

Today's time limit is up, if you can't come up with a new supervisory law that satisfies Ying Zheng, Li Si will really sit on the wax!
Everyone is a minister in the same palace, and there is some friendship, and everyone knows Ying Zheng's dog temper. It is really not a comfortable thing to be a minister under such a king.

Therefore, all officials sympathized with Li Si!
"Your Majesty, Ting Wei's Mansion has perfected the Shuanggui Law, which is sure to be feasible and effective."

There was an assistant officer in Ting Wei's Mansion who couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately stepped out of the crowd to stand up for the good elder brother, and presented a thick paper fold.

Zhao Gao stepped forward to receive the folded paper, stepped up the steps quickly, and presented it to Ying Zheng for viewing.

After Ying Zheng took it, he didn't even look at it. Danfeng narrowed his eyes, stared at Li Si for a moment, then put it on the desk, and said indifferently, "Stand back."

Tingwei's Mansion used Qin Mo's old trick to perfect a deal, which was indeed nothing to look at.

And Ying Zheng didn't look at it at this time, in fact, he wanted to expose this trouble and save some face for Li Si, so that he would not really get down...

Now that the adjustment of the central official position is announced, the civil and military officials probably don't have the heart to pay attention to Li Si...

Well, Yingzheng's dog temper is a dog temper, but it's not that he doesn't know how to sympathize with his courtiers, nor is he as indifferent as many people think.

As long as Li Si can complete the task, he doesn't care, whether it's his own way, or picking up people's teeth.

For the king, it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it is a good cat!

At most... Li Si's talent, discounted in his heart, made him more impulsive to use Han Fei...

"Cough cough~!"

Fusu stood up holding the thick manuscript, and coughed twice to attract the attention of civil and military officials.

Seeing that Ying Zheng had lightly uncovered it, the assistant officer of the Ting Wei's Mansion didn't seem to blame his good elder brother Li Si, and he was more happy about doing more than doing less, so he immediately retreated to the imperial court.

However, after he retreated into court, he was surprised to find that Li Si was still standing in the middle of the hall.

All the officials of the Tingwei's Mansion at the court meeting were even more confused.

What's the matter, big brother?
Your Majesty didn't even mean to blame, as if he was about to expose it lightly, you won't make things difficult for yourself, why are you resigning in shame?

"Tingwei...Tingwei is back..."

An official of the Tingwei Mansion who was closer to Li Si lowered his voice and wanted to call Li Si back to the court.

Li Si was lowering his head to fumble from his big sleeve. He had prepared the memorabilia last night. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and looked.

Then he stepped forward, ready to present the memorial...

However, what he didn't know was that in the eyes of his younger brothers, his bright smile was not a confident smile, but a sad smile.

Especially the younger brothers, when they saw him approaching a temple pillar, there seemed to be another kind of tragic parting in his sad and miserable smile!

"Ting Wei can't..."

"Don't think too hard..."

"Stop Captain Ting~!"

The officials of Ting Wei's mansion exploded, and they didn't care about the emperor's disrespect, they rushed forward one after another, threw Li Si to the ground, and held him down with all hands and feet.

Ying Zheng was taken aback by this change, and the embarrassing scene of being dominated by Jing Ke suddenly appeared in his heart.

Fusu and Mandian's courtiers were also terrified, looking at the officials of Tingwei's Mansion with disbelief on their faces.

Swah——

Qin Mo pulled out his sword and shouted violently, "Bold, you want to do something~!"

All the officers of the Tingwei's mansion were frightened and Qi Qi was shocked, and hurriedly supported Li Si who was in a panic to get up, and hurriedly explained: "Qin Prime Minister, don't blame... Tingwei was about to hit the courtyard pillar just now... We just want to save Li Si. Xia Tingwei... lost his position in a hurry..."

Li Si was thrown down heavily, and after he took a breath, his face turned green when he heard the words, and he cursed in embarrassment: "Bah, that one is going to hit the courtyard pillar... I just want to submit a memorial..."

As he said that, he pulled out two arms from the subordinate officer's arms, picked up the folded paper that had fallen on the ground, and said to the bewildered Ying Zheng on the steps: "Your Majesty, I have a brief report on the system reform of Yushi and Jinyiwei." Above all, without this system reformed as a cornerstone, the shuanggui law is nothing but a castle in the air, and sooner or later it will collapse and fail.”

"Before His Majesty promulgates the adjustment of the central official position, you need to read the memorandum on the reform of the imperial censor Jinyi guard system. If not, after the adjustment, I am afraid that there will be more adjustments!"

The officials of Ting Wei's Mansion: "..."

Are you really going to hit a pillar?

It's a mess...

How embarrassing!

"Cough~!"

Ying Zheng coughed dryly, regained his senses from his bewilderment, and looked at Qin Mo, who was standing with a horizontal sword on his majesty's steps.

Feeling full of security!

However, when he saw the sword in Qin Mo's hand clearly, he was stunned again, and said in astonishment: "How can Aiqing match a wooden sword?"

Let Ying Zheng say this, Fu Su and Man Dian civil and military finally discovered that the great sword in Qin Mo's hand was actually made of wood.

That sword, with a layer of silver paint painted on its surface, looks like that at first glance.

However, perhaps because I was too lazy to take care of it, the paint surface has been mottled, revealing the essence of the wood underneath.

You don't need to look closely, you can tell at a glance!
Swah——

Qin Mo smacked his lips, put the sword back into its sheath and said, "It's not in the army, before His Majesty rides, how can I use a sharp weapon? So I use a wooden one as a ceremonial sword!"

Ying Zheng was speechless, his cheeks twitching uncontrollably.

This meant that no one would assassinate, otherwise there would be another Jing Ke, and Qin Mo would have no problem killing ten Jing Ke with this broken sword with mottled paint in his hand.

Well, it still feels safe!

He could also understand Qin Mo's intention of pairing the wooden instrument sword.

In the final analysis, after becoming a prime minister, he didn't want to follow the truth, let alone break the rules of the monarch and his ministers.

Just like many old and weak courtiers, they have the privilege of riding horses in the palace, but they have never used them, and they have always walked in and out of the palace.

If you really dare to exercise this privilege and be imprisoned by ginseng one day, you will have to blame yourself...

In the same way, walking on the sword is a privilege of honor, and if you dare to exercise it, it is arrogant and domineering, and it is true!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng suddenly understood why Qin Mo didn't recruit himself to participate in this grand meeting today.

He still didn't want to stay in the court, and he was still thinking about his resignation.

It was also fortunate that Li Si interrupted, otherwise when Fusu announced the adjustment of the central government's position, it might be the time when Qin Mo took the opportunity to resign!
"call……"

Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: [It's so dangerous, I was almost cornered by this melon~! 】

Then, he couldn't help but looked at Li Si with admiration, and his attitude became more friendly unconsciously: "Ai Qing has worked hard, and I will submit the memorial."

Li Si didn't know what was going on in Ying Zheng's mind. Seeing that his attitude suddenly became friendly, he just thought that his hard work was not in vain, and his excited body began to sway.

This reform of the Yushi Jinyiwei system, if it can be favored by Yingzheng, then the adjustment of the central official position must also be rearranged.

Even if I wasn't among the five-phase candidates, I would most likely be able to get a seat when I re-arrange!
After a while, Zhao Gao forwarded the memorial to Ying Zheng.

And Yingzheng didn't try to be perfunctory this time, he read it carefully, his eyes became brighter the more he looked at it, and praised: "This reform method is very good, and it is indeed the cornerstone of Yushi Jinyiwei's own integrity."

As he spoke, he passed the memorial to Fusu, who was next in line, and asked him to recite it to all the officials in the palace for reference.

After hearing this, all civil and military officials nodded their heads in agreement, Taiwei Feng Quji raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, the military judges and supervisory censors in the garrison army can also be restructured according to this, and become independent. In addition to military administration, one sits and inspects and the other inspects, complementing each other and supervising each other."

"In addition, His Majesty should be in the garrison army, and there are also hidden lines of Jinyiwei. The combination of the three must be able to put an end to illegal things in the army!"

Ying Zheng smiled and said, "What Ai Qing said is very true. The military surveillance system should also be reformed accordingly."

When the civil and military officials heard the words, their previous sympathy for Li Si could not help but turn into envy.

Li Si showed his face too much today!

But all the officials of Ting Wei's Mansion looked at Li Si blankly.

Good brother, there is a way?

Why don't you take us with you?

Fortunately, we were in a hurry to save you just now, you are such a big brother, you are not righteous, and you don’t think about your little brothers if you have credit!
Ying Zheng looked at Li Si and praised him, "Ai Qing is quite curious, to think of making the surveillance system independent of the imperial court."

Li Si bowed his hands in shame: "I also asked Prime Minister Qin for some advice, and after hard thinking and meditation, I made this memorandum."

This is called the art of speaking, and it seems to be true at first glance. Although Qin Mo has helped, his own contribution is not small.

But with such a skill, it's okay to fool children.

Ying Zheng and all the officials in the court knew the elegant meaning after hearing the strings, and immediately understood that it was Qin Mo who had done Li Si a great favor.

This kind of mind-blowing whimsy is indeed Qin Mo's usual style!
Thinking of this, Ying Zheng could not help but secretly look at Qin Mo, who was hidden behind the twelve bead strings, secretly looking at Qin Mo, who was on the steps of his majesty, and said in his heart: [If I let you escape, where can I find another one on the forehead?Phase, don't even think about quitting, just do it honestly! 】

"With this revision of the supervision system, the adjustment of the central government's official position also needs to be rescheduled...today's court meeting will be suspended for now!"

Ying Zheng was afraid that Qin Mo would not play his cards according to the routine, so he directly offered his resignation, and ended the court meeting anticlimactically.

Then, without waiting for Qin Mo and the civil and military officials to send him off, he got up and walked away quickly, his legs and feet were so quick.

Fusu was behind, he had to trot to keep up!

"If you have an urgent memorial, Gao Ke will forward it on your behalf and withdraw from the court." Zhao Gaolang said.

"Farewell to Your Majesty, Respect to the Prince..."

Qin Mo led all the civil and military officials to bid farewell to Ying Zheng and Fu Su who had turned around the screen and ran away.

Afterwards, civil and military officials who wanted to play urgent memorials stepped forward to surround Zhao Gao and asked him to forward them on their behalf. There were also less urgent memorials, which were given to Lao Wang Wan and a group of prime ministers and subordinates.

Qin Mo approached Zhao Gao, took out a folded paper, stuffed it in and said, "Brother Zhao, please help me forward this memorial to Your Majesty."

When Zhao Gao heard him calling Brother Zhao, his heart trembled.

The last time Qin Mo called him that, he had just returned from conquering Beyond the Great Wall. At that time, Ying Zheng wanted to make Qin Mo the lord of Hexi, and let Qin Mo develop the land of Hexi.

And Qin Mo, who turned around and called him brother and brother, cheated him a lot of money!

Now that Qin Mo came to call him brother Zhao again, and called himself his younger brother, this situation was so familiar.

Can you not have a liver quiver?
"Gudu..."

Zhao Gao swallowed his saliva, and looked down at the memorial that Qin Mo stuffed over. He suddenly felt that it was hotter than a red-hot iron, and hurriedly refused, "Mr. Qin, don't be joking. You are the prime minister. I need to forward it there." Memorial? You can find His Majesty by yourself!"

As he said that, he didn't care about other civil and military officials who wanted to submit the memorial, so he turned around and left, as if chased by a wolf.

Qin Mo watched his back disappear behind the screen, then turned to look at Old Wang Wan, and said with a junior salute: "Old Minister Wang, when you send the memorial to His Majesty later, send me this memorial as well."

Old Wang Wan was stunned for a moment, then licked his ears, pretending to be old-fashioned: "What are you talking about, Prime Minister Qin? I can't hear you clearly~!"

Qin Mo: "..."
