Chapter 60: Unrest breaks out suddenly, Li Si takes the blame! [Please collect and read]

Li Si looked at the bamboo slips Wang Wan presented to Ying Zheng and was speechless for a long time.

Ying Zheng sat behind the desk and stared at Li Si quietly. It wasn't until he closed the bamboo slips that he asked lightly: "How is it?"

"I am not as good as the old Prime Minister!"

Li Si sighed, his body seemed to be hollowed out, and his shoulders slumped.

He thought he was far-sighted, won the emperor's heart, and was ahead of everyone, but he didn't expect to lose to Wang Wan.

Compared with Wang Wan's three provinces and six ministries system, the three gongs and nine ministers system is so crude.

No wonder Gongzi Hao would say that the system of prefectures and counties is not perfect.

With the current system of three officials and nine officials, coupled with the system of counties and counties, there will definitely be problems.

If coupled with the three provinces and six ministries system, the county system will become perfect.

It can be seen from this that Wang Wan truly deserves the position of prime minister.

only

Why did he bring it up now?

The Three Gongs and Nine Ministers system had already been established before the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, and now it has become the centralized framework of the dynasty. If it had been proposed earlier, why bother going to this point?

Thinking of this, Li Si frowned slightly, confused. When he looked up at Ying Zheng, he found that Ying Zheng was smiling, with a hint of teasing hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Um?

wrong!

Something's wrong!

Given the old prime minister's temperament, if he really had such a good plan, he would not be the first to propose it.

So

Thinking of something, Li Si nodded suddenly, his eyes gradually became clearer, and he looked at Ying Zheng and smiled: "Your Majesty, it is our Great Qin's blessing to have this Qilin Son!"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately stopped smiling and said angrily: "What Qilinzi is, he's just a rebellious son!"

"hehe."

Li Si smiled noncommittally and said nothing.

There are some things that you just need to know in your heart, but there is no point in exposing them.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si and said, "Does Ting Wei think this strategy is feasible?"

"feasible!"

Li Si nodded and said: "If your Majesty implements the system of counties and counties, coupled with the official system of these three provinces and six ministries, it can greatly improve administrative efficiency and strengthen the court's rule over local areas!"

"Then have you ever thought that if the system of three provinces and six ministries is adopted, our country in Qin will not have a prime minister."

Ying Zheng said calmly.

The division of labor among the three provinces mainly involves dividing the powers of the prime minister into three.

The officials in the three provinces were of lower grade, which weakened the power of the prime minister and strengthened the imperial power.

For the emperor, it is naturally a good thing, but for the ministers, it is not a good thing.

But when Ying Zheng finished speaking, Li Si's face suddenly turned red: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?!"

"Actually, to tell you the truth, the old Prime Minister just came to me to resign, intending to let you take up the position of Prime Minister!" Ying Zheng smiled.

"Old Prime Minister is confused!"

Li Si shouted solemnly.

Ying Zheng smiled and waved his hand: "It is a good thing to be self-aware, but now Wang Wan must be the prime minister!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Li Si breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ying Zheng glanced at him and said calmly: "For important ministers to hold high positions, it requires both talent and situation. Now that the country is undergoing reform, it is the time when our monarchs and ministers work together as one, so what is the point of distinction between titles and titles?"

"What your Majesty said is true!"

Li Si sternly echoed: "As long as I can serve the country, it doesn't matter what official position I hold!"

"good!"

Ying Zheng took the case and smiled.

Li Si also smiled calmly and said: "Actually, the system of three provinces and six ministries is really good. The Zhongshu Province is responsible for drafting and promulgating the emperor's edicts, the Menxia Province is responsible for reviewing government decrees, and the Shangshu Province is responsible for executing the country's decrees;

Each of the six departments performs its own duties, which is a masterpiece!"

“As for the emperor’s edicts and government decrees issued by Zhongshu Province, if Menxia Province finds that they are not in line with the emperor’s wishes or are not feasible, they should be rejected.

The Shangshu Province is only responsible for executing government orders and has no other rights.

The three provinces supervise each other and check each other to avoid the problem of excessive power of the Prime Minister's Office!"

"What Tingwei said is very good. This is the centralized governance that I most expect!" Ying Zheng clapped his hands enthusiastically: "A clear division of labor can improve the efficiency of state administration!"

Li Si smiled faintly. He understood better than anyone else that the First Emperor's words were actually a nod to him.

There was no such a perfect system before, and the First Emperor was not aware of the problems. Now that it is, he naturally does not want a second Lu Buwei to appear in the Qin Dynasty.

Sighing secretly in his heart, Li Si said again: "I think your Majesty should be aware of the difficulties of this strategy. We in Da Qin don't have that many officials. The top priority is to open up official careers!"

"That makes sense."

Ying Zheng nodded and looked at Li Si again: "Does Wei Ting have any good ideas?"

Li Si thought for a while and said: "I feel that the group of doctors in the Doctor's Palace cannot be used. In addition, the assessment proposed by Gongzi Hao to become an official can also be issued by an edict to let the world's talented people come to Xianyang for assessment and select the best for admission!"

"Of course, meritorious children and royal family members, as long as their talents are acceptable, can all be considered!"

"Your Majesty does not need to worry about them becoming powerful. When New Confucianism is implemented, the country will cultivate more talents and gradually replace them."

"good!"

Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

Li Si said thoughtfully: "Today, the land of the Six Kingdoms is still in the stage of wartime control. Most of the chief officials of counties and counties are generals. The old officials of the Six Kingdoms are assistant ministers. In some places, counties have not even been established yet.

controlled by generals;

Before the newly selected officials take office, we must not relax blindly to prevent the remnants of the Six Kingdoms and the barbarians from the border from causing chaos. It will take at least two or three years for these officials to take office and the local area is stabilized before the control can be gradually lifted!"

"At the same time, we also need to share the power of county chief officials and refine their responsibilities to prevent them from having second thoughts and being detrimental to the country!"

"Okay! Tingwei has thought carefully and won my heart!"

"Your Majesty, this is Young Master Hao's policy. It's just a matter of reorganizing the ministers. It's nothing." Li Si said with a bitter smile.

Ying Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to be self-effacing, Ting Wei. I have been on the same page with my monarch and my ministers for many years. I understand everything. It's okay for that kid not to mention it. You can go on."

Just as Li Si was about to speak, Zhao Gao's unique voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the doctor is here to see Meng Yi urgently!"

Urgent to see you?

This word can't be used in every situation. Zhao Gao knew Ying Zheng's nature well, so he basically didn't make a mistake. If he said he was in a hurry, something big must have happened.

Ying Zheng's face turned gloomy and he shouted, "Xuan him to come in!"

Soon, Meng Yi hurriedly entered the study, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said directly: "Your Majesty, several doctors from the Doctor's Palace have fled to Xianyang, spreading the word of His Majesty's tyranny, burning books, humiliating Confucians, and annihilating civilization;

When the Confucian schools heard about the compilation of New Confucianism by the dynasty, they criticized the dynasty verbally and writtenly. When the book-collecting families heard about the book-burning order, they also fled one after another. There were faint signs of unrest!"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng subconsciously looked at Li Si.

But Li Si frowned and remained silent.

He had just suggested that Ying Zheng appoint Dr. Gong, but now that something like this happened, it was really embarrassing.

If it were in the past, he would definitely advocate legal action and bloody suppression, but after listening to Zhao Hao's remarks in the main hall, he suddenly felt that strong methods may not have good results.

Deal with these rioters.

Zhao Hao may have a better idea.

After all, the scene of the verbal battle with the Confucian scholars is still fresh in my memory.

Thinking of this, Li Si raised his head and looked at Ying Zheng, and said righteously: "The person who intercedes for the doctors in the Doctor's Palace is Young Master Fusu. The matter of New Confucianism was raised by Young Master Hao, and Your Majesty should be held accountable!"

"."

Ying Zheng rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, obviously dissatisfied with Li Si's move to shift the blame.

But as Li Si said, this matter really has something to do with those two boys.
