Chapter 248 The Prime Minister and the Censor
"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, at least [-]% 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 has really delegated power to his eldest son Fusu, who is only 13 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 'supervisor'.
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 imperial conquest, Xiong Qing, as the head of the officials, should 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 government office and official seals representing the "Prime Minister of the State of Qin".
this moment.
The courtiers in the court representing the power of the "Chu foreign relatives lineage" 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 there has been no conclusion on who will be conferred in the end.
And this is also the thing 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.
The great Qin respected the right, so the position of the right prime minister is the current state of Qin, and there is no doubt that it is "under one person, above ten thousand people".
It can be said that this position is the lifelong pursuit of all civil servants.
As the dust of the position of "Prime Minister" settled, the minds of many officials above the court have turned quickly, thinking that maybe they should lean closer to the "Chu Foreign Relatives Line" 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", couldn't help but secretly cast proud and provocative looks at Mo Jun.
Needless to say.
This kind of childlike behavior was 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.
Mo Jun's rise was too sudden. Before the incident of the "Four Great Clans" in Nanjun, Chang Ping Jun and Chang Wen Jun didn't even have Mo Jun in their eyes.
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, Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun brothers 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 feel elated.
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 position of supervising all officials."
"..."
This sudden edict was issued, and the entire court fell into dead silence instantly. Lord Chang Wen, 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 was wearing a crown, so he couldn't see his expression clearly.
The only thing Xiong Qi could see was the majesty on Ying Zheng's body that was 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 with him, Lu Buwei, and Lao Ai, who had no rights and could only follow the crowd.
Today's Yingzheng has no one who can interfere with his decision, he can't, and the Queen Mother Huayang can't either.
"Sir, please follow the imperial edict."
Mo Jun stood up and said loudly.
The matter of conferring on Mo Jun as the 'Doctor of the Royal History' was obviously not part of the pre-prepared process of the Great Court Meeting. This was Ying Zheng's decision alone, and no one could object to it.
And behind this seemingly simple thing, it also represents many meanings.
First to understand.
What is the official position of Doctor Yushi?
The official position system of the Qin State is the "San Gong Jiu Qing System".
Among them, 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 setting up this official position was to check and balance the power 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 state of Qin, second only to King Qin.
From an official standpoint.
Yingzheng chose to confer the title of "Prime Minister of the Right" on Jun Changping and at the same time confer the title of "Doctor Yushi" on Jun Mo, which seems to be just for a check and balance of power.
But after digging deeper, you will find that this matter is far more than that...
