Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "the six departments of the Qin Dynasty are in charge of the government affairs of the Qin Dynasty. Whether it's decision-making or administration, it's all in the six ministries, and the responsibilities are too huge. "

Jia Xu, Li Ru and others raised their eyebrows.

They all looked surprised.

Zhang Xiu's meaning is clearly to readjust the six ministries, or to readjust the functions and powers of the officials of the six ministries. However, no one spoke, because Zhang Xiu was enough to say.

Zhang xiudao said, "officials of the six ministries are directly responsible to me. In addition to the six ministries, a cabinet shall be set up, which shall take charge of government affairs and make decisions, and finally the six ministries shall execute them. "

Hoo!!

When they heard this, they were all short of breath.

Cabinet!

It's the ruling of all government affairs.

This means that the power center of the state of Qin was concentrated in the cabinet.

Therefore, it is necessary to enter the cabinet.

If you do not join the cabinet, you will not be able to access the power center of the state of Qin. So one by one look at Zhang Xiu's eyes, are becoming hot up, but the specific how to enter the cabinet is one thing, still need to be elaborated by Zhang Xiu, after all, this is the thing that Zhang Xiu decided to enter the cabinet.

More information, whether Jia Xu or Li Ru or others, is unknown.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "as the ruling department above the six ministries, the cabinet has seven members. The first one is called the first assistant, and the second one is called the second assistant. The rest are all cabinet members to assist the first assistant and the second assistant in handling government affairs."

In fact, this cabinet has also made corresponding changes and gained legitimacy.

During the Ming Dynasty, although the cabinet was powerful, in fact, the cabinet was only the emperor's personal adviser and had no legitimacy. It was not only delayed by the six ministries, but also constrained by the eunuchs in the palace. In many cases, the cabinet was only a vassal of the emperor and could not play a real role. Zhang Xiu made corresponding changes and legalized the cabinet.

Make it above the six.

Even, the cabinet members selected by Zhang Xiu could not be imperial CI ministers or people who did not understand the local economy. In fact, many of the cabinet members in the Ming Dynasty were just studying in vain. They studied eight parts of the book with lofty ideals and poor classics. Finally, the title of the golden list entered the eyes of the emperor and climbed up step by step to enter the cabinet.

But in fact, the lack of local ruling experience and many ruling measures are taken for granted.

So that, on the contrary, it affected the people.

Of course, to a certain extent, this kind of cabinet has become the prime minister and can dominate the whole world.

However, Zhang Xiu has its own limitations.

Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "the Prime Minister of the cabinet shall be appointed by the emperor and shall be rotated every ten years. It is strictly forbidden to serve as the Prime Minister of the cabinet indefinitely."

When people heard the words, they changed color one after another.

The commander-in-chief of the major military regions previously designated needs to rotate, and now even the cabinet chief and assistant also need to rotate. Obviously, the purpose of Zhang Xiu's doing this is to limit the unlimited expansion of officials' rights.

But there was no way.

Because thunder, rain and dew are all grace, which is arranged by Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu looked around the crowd and said: "all the six previous ministers were separated from their original positions, and then entered the cabinet as officials. Among the six candidates who joined the cabinet for the first time, Xu Shu was the first, Jia Xu was the second, and the rest were members of the cabinet. As for the six officials who are vacant, you should make a judgment, report to me for approval, and then arrange the six officials. "

"Here it is

Xu Shu, Jia Xu and others should go down together.

"All back!"

Zhang Xiu waved her hand.

Now, whether in the army or in the imperial court, certain adjustments have to be made, which can't be done overnight. So Zhang Xiu asked Xu Shu to take people to deal with government affairs.

After everyone left, only Zhang Xiu and Zhang Cheng were left.

Zhang Xiu looked at sitting at the bottom, face solemn, a thoughtful Zhang Cheng, said: "Chenger, but what questions do you have?"

Zhang Chengdao said: "my father, whether he set up a military region or a cabinet, set a time limit and had to rotate. Is the intention of the emperor's father to do so a suspicion of disloyalty? "

"Wrong, not doubt!"

Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "this is to prevent and protect them. Everyone, in the face of temptation, may not be able to stick to the original intention. And once you make a mistake, it's irreversible. So when I limit the time limit, I block everyone's greedy thoughts and all people's desires. In a way, it's protecting them. "

After a pause, Zhang Xiu continued: "what's more, you have to govern a country. Trust is necessary. Without trust, state affairs cannot be governed. But in addition to trust, you also have to have the means of containment to ensure that you are in control of the situation. "

Zhang chengruo thought and said, "I understand."

"Just understand."

Zhang Xiu smiles.

In fact, at Zhang Cheng's age, Zhang Xiu doesn't think Zhang Cheng really understands, because it involves power. However, he didn't interfere in Zhang Cheng's thoughts, and he didn't manage them. In short, let it be.Zhang Xiu continued: "you are still young. You should not express your opinion too early. When things happen, listen, read, think and ask more. Don't express your opinions at will. "

Zhang Chengdao: "son understands!"

After a pause, Zhang Cheng continued: "when my son was in the Academy, he studied with his teachers and other senior brothers, and they all taught me that I had to understand before I had any evidence. Otherwise, it will be on paper, floating on the surface. "

Zhang Xiu said, "you just understand."

Zhang Xiu talked with Zhang Cheng for nearly half an hour before she let Zhang Cheng leave.

Zhang Xiu returned to the harem and spent some time with a group of concubines. After all, he spent almost all these years fighting outside the palace and rarely stayed in the palace.

On this day, in the morning.

After Zhang Xiu came out of the harem, Xu Shu came to see her.

Zhang xiudao said, "Yuanzhi, what's the important thing for you to come to see me?"

Xu Shu replied: "tell your majesty that the reason why I came to see you is that all the people in the cabinet agreed that although your majesty has a prince and Daqin has a successor, there are too few children. The strength of the Qin Dynasty lies not only in the strength of the army, but also in the reproduction of his Majesty's descendants. Therefore, I beg your majesty to spread more branches and leaves. "

After a pause, Xu Shu continued: "I'm here to persuade you. I hope your majesty can choose women to enter the palace to enrich the palace."

"No need!"

Zhang Xiu directly shook her head and refused, saying: "there is no need to enrich the harem. Now there are many women in my harem. None of them has yet been born, and there are so many people, that's enough

For the women in the harem, Zhang Xiu didn't have much wild hope, because although he also liked beautiful women, he didn't indulge in them. What's more, color is a bone scraper. You can't do it without restraint.

Xu Shu said: "in that case, please your majesty to favor the concubines."

"I see."

Zhang Xiu nodded and answered.

Most of his time now is in the palace, so he has plenty of time and energy to make human beings.

After Xu Shu said something about the harem, he turned around and left without much delay.

Zhang Xiu is still in the harem.

Nowadays, government affairs are almost handled by the cabinet. He only needs to review them. Therefore, with the existence of the cabinet, Zhang Xiu can be much more relaxed. As the founding monarch, Zhang Xiu's prestige is incomparable, so the cabinet can not suppress the imperial power in any case. But in later generations, when the emperor was weak, the power of the cabinet might suppress the imperial power, but this was beyond Zhang Xiu's control.

In a word, it is enough to keep the country's throne.

The rest, Zhang Xiu did not consider so much.

Time flies. In a flash, more than a year has passed in a hurry. Time enters March 207. For more than a year, the territory of Daqin has been flourishing, and all localities have been attached to it. Even Jiaozhou in the South has been submitted to surrender.

The whole Qin Dynasty is completely unified.
